Don’t Stay Thirsty, My Friends

January 22, 2018

From 3 days ago: The red light was on. The humidifier needed water. As I was taking care of it, an old song floated through me: “Fill my cup, Lord…I lift it up, Lord…come and quench this thirsting of my soul.”

In a subtle way, that classic chorus reminds you and me of a responsibility we have.

Its second phrase is a call to action: I lift it up, Lord.

I can be in the kitchen, be thirsty, know that there’s a variety of beverages in the refrigerator and an even greater assortment of glasses in the cabinet, and stay thirsty.

Connecting a glass with a beverage and then drinking the contents are the only ways to quench my thirst.

True for our spirits as well.

We can be reading and studying The Bible, be in a small group, participating in a worship service, and stay thirsty.
